- the present invention will be described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be embodied in many alternate forms of embodiments.
- any suitable size, shape or type of elements or materials could be used.
- the assembly 10 includes a female electrical connector 12 and a mating male electrical connector 14.
- the female connector 12 includes a one-piece dielectric housing 16 and a plurality of electrical contacts 18. Referring also to FIG. 2, a front end view of the female connector 12 is shown.
- the housing 16 has an array of nine (3 ⁇ 3) contact receiving holes 20. However, in alternate embodiments any suitable number or array could be provided.
- the holes 20 extend entirely through the housing between the two opposite ends 22, 24.
- Each hole 20 has two radially inwardly extending lock tabs 26, 28; a single one of the tabs at each end of each hole.
- the housing 16 also has four snap-lock tabs 30; two on a top side and two on a bottom side.
- the female electrical contacts are made from a flat sheet metal blank 18A that is subsequently bent or rolled into a column or tub shape as shown in FIG. 3B.
- the blank 18A in this embodiment, comprises three parallel V-shaped sections 32 that are connected at their vertices by a center connection section 34 and are connected at their ends by end connection sections 36, 38. In alternate embodiments more than three V-shaped sections could be provided.

- the blank 18A is bent or rolled as indicated by arrow x along axis 40.
- the axis 40 is generally orthogonal to the center symmetrical axis 42 of the blank 18A; along the center connection section 34.
- the contact 18 is formed with three general ring shaped sections 44, 46, 48 interconnected by two sets of three twisted beam sections 50, 51, on each side of the center ring section 46.
- the beam sections 50, 51 because of their twisted shape, form a narrowed contact receiving area which is smaller than the areas through the ring shaped sections.
- the contact 18 forms two receiving areas 52, 54, on opposite sides of the center ring shaped section 46 for receiving two male contacts separately through the opposite ends 56, 58.
- the beams 50, 51 in each receiving area 52, 54 are symmetrically arranged such that there is symmetrical contact with an inserted male contact. Because the center ring shaped section 46 separates the two sets of beam sections 50, 51, the two sets of beam sections are able to substantially independently and separately mechanically function for contacting male contacts.
- the front ring sections on the lock tabs 28 help to guide the contacts over the lock tab (resiliently deforming slightly) and then are entrapped between the two tabs 26, 28.
- the housing 16 could be comprised of multiple pieces.
- the female connector 12 is intended to be used to connect the male connector 14 (or any other suitable connector) to another component, such as another male connector or a pin header.
- another component is electrically connected to the receiving areas 52 of the contacts 18 and the other component is electrically connected to the receiving areas 54.
- a male contact-to-contact connection can be provided by the dual female contacts 18 which avoids crimping or soldering. Wires could also be connected to the female contacts 18 individually without a male connector housing. Separate end caps (not shown) with full radial interference retain the contacts 8 in the housing 16 could also be provided on the female housing.
- the mating male electrical connector 14 generally comprises a housing 60 and conductors 62 (only one of which is shown in FIG. 1 for the sake of clarity) .
- FIG. 4 merely shows a cross-section of the housing 60 without showing the conductors, also for the sake of clarity.
- the housing 60 generally comprises a plurality of modular frame pieces or sandwiching members 64 and lock modules 66.
- each frame piece 64 is comprised of dielectric molded plastic material and they all have a same non-uniform shape.
- each frame piece 64 has conductor receiving grooves 68, an alignment through hole 70, locking alignment projections 72, energy directors 74, and cable retention ribs 76.
- each frame piece 64 has six parallel conductor receiving grooves 68; three on a top side 78 and three on a bottom side 80.
- the top and bottom sides 78,80 have holes proximate a first lateral side of the frame piece that combine to form the alignment through hole 70.
- the top and bottom sides 78, 80 also have the two locking alignment projections 72 extending therefrom in opposite directions proximate a second opposite lateral side of the frame piece.
- the projections 72 have a general tapered column shape.
- the cable retention ribs 76 extend across the grooves 68.
- each frame piece 64 is assembled in a row or stack in alternating reversely orientated positions.
- the locking alignment projections 72 of each frame piece 64 are located in the alignment through hole 70 of adjacent frame pieces.
- the grooves 68 on adjacent frame pieces align and form channels that sandwich portions of the electrical conductors 62 therebetween.
- the conductors 62 comprise flat cable assemblies with wires covered by insulation.
- single insulated wire conductors could be provided in each channel.
- the energy directors 74 are provided to initiate and propagate ultrasonic welding.
- the cable retention ribs 76 project into the conductor insulation to fixedly hold the flat cable assemblies between the frame pieces 64.
- the lock modules 66 are also one-piece dielectric molded plastic members.
- the connector 14 has two of the lock modules 66.
- one or no lock modules could be used.
- both lock modules 66 are the same.
- they could be different and have polarizing means for proper connection with the female connector housing.
- the lock modules 66 could also be replaced by a one-piece housing piece with connector locking and polarizing features; wherein a preassembly of frame pieces 64 and conductors 62 are snap-lock inserted into the housing piece. This would require a unique lock module for each contact configuration, but would provide keying, a stronger lock, and would allow normally incomparable materials to be used to optimize weld strength consistency and lock function.
- each lock module 66 comprises a latching rocker arm 82 and a shell section 84.
- the rocker arm 82 has a finger contact section 86, a snap-lock latching section 88, and a resilient bending section 90 which connects the arm 82 to the shell section 84.
- the snap-lock latching section 88 has a hole 92 for receiving one of the snap-lock tabs 30 of the female connectors (see FIGS. 1 and 4).
- the finger contact sections 86 can be depressed as indicated by arrows A in FIG. 1 to move the latching sections 88 out of latching engagement with the tabs 30 as indicated by arrows B.
- the bending section 90 allows the arm 82 to pivot or rock relative to the shell section 84.
- the shell section 84 has a front half-shroud section 94 and a rear connection section 96.
- the two half-shroud section 94 of the two lock modules 66 combine to enclose the front ends of the conductors in a pocket intended to receive part of the female connector housing 16.
- the rear connection section 96 as seen best in FIG. 4, comprises groove interlock projections 98, an alignment hole 100, and an alignment projection 102.
- the hole 100 receives that projection 72 of an adjacent frame piece 64.
- the projection 102 extends into the hole 70 of the adjacent frame piece 64.
- the groove interlock projections 98 extend into the grooves 68 of the adjacent frame piece.
- the frame pieces 64 and lock modules 66 are all ultrasonically welded together to form a unitary structure with the conductors 62 fixedly sandwiched inside the housing 60. In alternate embodiments additional or alternative fixation means could be used.
- the leading end of the conductors 62 have a portion of the insulation 63 removed to expose the leading end of the wire 65.
- a solidifying die set 110 is then used to solidify the strands of each wire 65 together to form a contact pin section for insertion into one end of the dual female contacts 18.
- other contact pin forming or solidifying means could be used.
- a contact pin could be attached to the leading ends of the wires 65.
- FIG. 9 an alternate embodiment of the male connector housing 120 is shown.
- the lock modules 122 have conductor receiving grooves 124 rather than the groove interlock projections 98 shown in lock modules 66 of FIG. 4.
- three rows of conductor receiving channels are provided; two of the rows being established between the lock modules 122 and the frame pieces 64.
- Modular construction allows multiple rows to be stacked.
- the same cable retainer module is used between each row of cable by alternating its orientation.
- the modules are designed to be sonically welded, with the welding process control criteria being the finished height.
- the number of rows and the number of contacts per row are limited only by the capability of the welding process.
- Male pin is formed by solidifying the cable core. Minimizes the number of contact points.
- BeCu female receptacle contact accepts one male pin from each end with three semi independent beams for each pin.
- Calculated normal force is 140 g at 0.13 mm deflection.
